Thanks, though many of the features of StreamFX now have alternatives.

Blur has been released as a separate plugin
3D Effect replaces 3D Transform for the most part
Source Clone is a more feature rich version of Source Mirror

hey guys, I wanted to know how I would exactly split screen recordings on obs? Like for example, I want my game recording on one file, while on the other my webcam is being recorded so I'm able to crop out my webcam if I please to, Would anybody know how to do this and what plugin id need?

#

I remember using a certain plugin before I factory reset

it probably has to do with the settings you are trying to use. i have never used the plugin so i won't be any help.

Linking to your own repository for any plugin, unprompted, is advertising. I know there's a lot of frustration around StreamFX and it's releases which is why I didn't issue a warning

How to use Red Giant Cosmo Effect in filter.... I'm trying since couple of months. I can't do this

obsidian agate
#

Red Giant Cosmo Effect? Do you have a link to an example?

pale rock
#

Wait I'm dropping here

#

I have to use it in but i can't do it!!!

obsidian agate
#

off the top of my head, i dont believe there are any specific filters that can do that. Possibly some shaders, but that is outside of my area.

#

How can we add or install effects in obs

look thru the OBS Studio Resources to learn about all of the available plugins. Make sure they are compatible with v28+ of OBS. There was a major change in OBS from v27.2.4 to v28 that required plugins to be updated for compatibility. Most v28 plugins will already work with v29+

Oh ok then thank you

obsidian agate
#

welcome

#

there are a few StreamFX alternatives out now, including...
"3D Effect" - alternative to 3D Transform
"Source Clone" - alternative to Source Mirror

#

there's a 3D transform alternative too

By the way is there any better shader filter plugin, if support multiple input like shadertoy is better ?

#

anyone now of a plugin that will allow you to change transform and it resizes browser sources/etc properties?

fossil wyvern
spring ruin
#

it's just annoying to change a transform of a source like the browser source and have it stretch instead of resize

#

same for text, etc

#

i'm just lazy 🤣

#

but that's an option i suppose... listen to transform updates and change properties

fossil wyvern
#

what do you mean by "resize" exactly?

spring ruin
#

for example if i have a browser source set to 400x400px, and change the transform to fill the screen, it's still a 400x400 image sampled to 1920x1080

#

and for text, if i set to 10pt, and resize the transform, it'll get all blurry and not scale the font size accordingly

#

it's just not intuitive in most cases, was hoping someone built a workaround for it

fossil wyvern
#

nah, transform, which is tied to the seneitem, affecting the actual source's settings would go pretty much against the whole conceptual structure of it.
You can jury-rig things to work that way, but imo you shouldn't.

#

I don't see what's the exact use case though.

spring ruin
#

pretty straightfoward... say you have a chat overlay, you put it to full screen 1920x1080, then you want to size the source via transform.. this just stretches things, doesn't actually change the browser size... so you have to pull up properties and slowly change it there without the intuitive handles

#

alternatively, you have a text label you place at a small font and want to resize it 10x larger, you have to go tinker with properties and change font size rather than just scaling it with the handles

fossil wyvern
#

just calculate the size you want it at beforehand

spring ruin
#

i can tell you don't build products for users 😅 it's ok, you gave me enough of an idea to listen to some events and handle accordingly

fossil wyvern
#

honestly, having a sceneitem control the source is kinda a bad idea, esp if you just plop it down to users

#

you are building yourself a shitstorm of "I don't understand why it does X" because of interactions that shouldn't happen

spring ruin
#

i see it as the opposite... right now it's "why doesn't it do X".. .this is a workaround to make it more intuitive

fossil wyvern
#

and actually, I kinda do build quite a few things for users, and I generally try to teach them to do things cleanly and properly rather than just jury-rig things to fit their demands

spring ruin
#

literally any app you use for design, when you place text and resize, it resamples the font size... in OBS it just stretches and resamples the image... it's not intuitive

#

if you resize your browser, it changes the document size.. in OBS it stretches

fossil wyvern
fossil wyvern
spring ruin
#

users expect these behaviors, i see it daily multiple times

fossil wyvern
spring ruin
#

which is almost never what the user wants

fossil wyvern
#

then the user should resize the browser, not the sceneitem

spring ruin
#

and doing so is painful, having to move pixel by pixel or try random numbers until it's close... grabbing a handle and resizing is more intuitive, and what the users expect to do

#

literally just watch anyone use OBS doing so, it happens 10/10 times

#

anyway, doesn't matter.. i have enough ideas

fossil wyvern
#

eh, I guess

mortal harbor
#

i am reading the conversation after the fact so sorry if maybe i misunderstood something.

fossil wyvern
#

prime sentinel
#

hey my alerts wont show up but i dont know why just trying to test them

fossil wyvern
#

if you take the URL from the browser source and put it in an actual browser (not in OBS) do they show up there?

prime sentinel
#

im on own3d and i have done everything he says but doesnt work

fossil wyvern
prime sentinel
#

i dont think i understand

#

im sorry

fossil wyvern
prime sentinel
#

uhhhh i think so

fossil wyvern
#

ok, take the URL from that browser source, then put it in a tab in chrome or opera or firefox or whatever you use as a browser and check if the alerts work there

prime sentinel
#

im using opera and obs

fossil wyvern
#

do as I said

prime sentinel
#

they do not

fossil wyvern
#

then the issues is with the amerts provider, own3d in your case

prime sentinel
#

oh ok

#

what are other programs

fossil wyvern
#

the issue isn't with the program, the issue is that own3d's alerts aren't working. I'd suggest you contact them for further support

prime sentinel
#

no i mean for overlays and stuff

fossil wyvern
#

there are other providers yes

Yea im more than capable of reading the analysis file, the plugin in question is not listed

fossil wyvern

just to be clear you didn't download it from the github, right?

pseudo hull
#

I did not, i used the installer from the obs website, however my next thought was to try and install via github

fossil wyvern
#

nah, don't, the github's release is outdated, exeldro uses the website for releases

pseudo hull
#

thats what I thought

fossil wyvern
#

and you said it worked on 29.0.2?

pseudo hull
#

correct

#

I even tried it on a second machine to confirm and both machines saw the plugin in 29.0.2 and both machines cannot see it in 29.1 or 29.1.1

fossil wyvern
# pseudo hull correct

ok, so according to the log the plugin fails to load a library, what I'm guessing is that it's failing to load libobs because the version number changed.
Which means the solution is to revert till the plugin get updated, which shouldn't bee too hard, probably

pseudo hull
#

Yea 29.1 fixed a bug I had previously with an audio source, so I will just refrain from using replay until it is fixed

fossil wyvern
#

there are other tools that do similar things afaik

pseudo hull
#

I tried using source record in combination with folder media or something plugin, and it worked fine one time, but after the source record filter would crash obs every-time i made a change to it, and ultimately there was a lot more macros involved to get it to work so i decided it wasnt worth the effort

#

I will probably revisit the whole replay thing in the future

Yes, well it still made me believe that this stack of books was a different type of file ("jar" as an example) while I myself had the beige version.

fossil wyvern
#

if you download the presets from the site, it's literally gonna be the same file.

#

also even if wasn't, it would be completely irrelevant as those are archive files, so what matters is what's inside

Yes I understand that, the logos don't change the purpose/actions of the files, it was just that one update that still made me think that I got the wrong file. 🤣

While this new icon had no issue being opened either.

you aren't in the wrong channel but it may be better to ask in #development

I'd recommend just using the virtual camera output, or spout2

Or even NDI

most major programming languages/scripting languages have libraries to work with all of that already.

#

There's no real reason to reinvent the wheel, but it depends on what the actual end goal here is.

are you saying it would be possible to do so by using the spout2 plugin code?

Good, its enabled. Do the same for the other websocket (v5), and then follow the instructions for setting up Input Overlay

So I can just cancel this password-section?

If you want it password protected, use a password. If not, disable Authentication for both v4 and v5

urban plover

What do they otherwise mean by "server port"?

obsidian agate
#

Leave those alone

#

Those are the ports that apps can use for connecting to the websocket server

#

And i already told you what they default to in the message above

#

Leave them as their defaults (4444 for v4, and 4455 for v5)

urban plover

Even if I do disable authentication, I am currently going to choose a password and press ok then?

Whatever password you enter wont matter if “use auth” is unchecked

Since it wont be used anyway.

Ah, now I found the "Enable authentication" category being just above password. 🤣 (Thought I had to hop in to some special menu.)

But even so, the app seems to warn about consequences of me disabling authentication. I suppose it wont make that much of a difference to me/the app if I do have it enabled?

Welp, believe I got it fixed now then.

Back to trying to install that key-stroke plugin.

#

Excuse me, but I am going to be asking somewhat often for the steps to install the plugin in such case, @obsidian agate.

Which of these files are necessary to be downloaded?

If you are running the latest version of windows 10 or 11 on a modern pc, use “Windows x64 installer exe”

urban plover
#

That alone?

obsidian agate
#

Yes, each download is a different type of installer for different situations

urban plover

Alrighty, that being installed. What do I do next?

how can i get a action to trigger at the beginning of each song with adv-ss or move? I cant figure out how to structure the macro...

regal breach
sleek lynx
#

what if its itunes? 😉

regal breach
#

No

sleek lynx
#

I get what you were saying, i just forgot to mention its an external player

fossil wyvern
#

adv-ss on its own can't know what happens in itunes

#

easiest there would probably to not actually use adv-ss, but have something that hooks into itunes API (if it even has one) and sends websocket commands to do what you're looking for

sleek lynx
#

this will probably be a dumb question, is there a way to say combine a browser source with an effect?(like somehow getting waveform to appear in the browser source) 🙂 lol

#

my brain naturally wants to think of this like html/css but I know some shits just not possible

#

guess it will just be always on, sounds like too much work for such a small effect

obsidian agate
#

(Also known as Nested Scenes)

sleek lynx
#

yeah, i know that route, but the browser source/script has the action im trying to mimic with waveform built into it(slide in at song start, slide out few seconds later), as well as the song monitoring, sooo its pointless, best I can do if change the html back to always on, and mimic the action with a nested scene, but I have no way to monitor itunes

#

i added waveform to a scene to see what it looks like, vlc playlist as source, and its blinking in and out like crazy, bug?

I'm making a new source to try one sec

#

omg, wait

vagrant minnow
#

I would attempt to assist, but I've never used the blur filter, so I'll be no help at all, sorry.

tawdry palm
#

I think what's going on is the original source was blured by StreamFX, so because it's remembering that, even though I removed the sourc,e it's bugging out, I made a new one and blur's instantly

#

ah, yep that fixed it

in my 1st image I had the blur turned off, but it was originally for StreamFX
I just removed the old one, even though it was disabled, and it works on original source now ❤️

fossil wyvern
#

removing the streamfx blur filters makes it work?

#

now that's a fucking weird one

obsidian agate
#

Ah good. So it was just the old filter option that was lingering

fossil wyvern
#

I was expecting HDR shenanigans, not that

tawdry palm
#

so I removed StreamFX from my OBS folders
But the original "blur" was from streamFX

#

once I removed the old Blur filter created by STreamFX, my new one worked 🙂

fossil wyvern
tawdry palm
#

hehe, yeah I didn't realize it did that even when turned off and I added a new one under the new blur hehe
was worried for moment 😄

obsidian agate
#

The majority of “its broken, OMG” issues tend to end up being “oh.. that was a simple fix due to a weird interaction”

tawdry palm
#

mmHmm 😉

fossil wyvern
#

ok, but this one is weird af

tawdry palm
#

original filter wasn't made by the new plugin so makes sense (though, I wasn't trying to use the old blur, was making a new one as I knew it had to be a new filter, not the old one - but because the old one was still there, OBS didn't like it) 😄

#

wait isn't OBS Clone the same as Mirror Plugin ?

fossil wyvern
obsidian agate
#

And more

#

MUCH more

tawdry palm
fossil wyvern
tawdry palm
#

rock on!
now I just hope those who made these plugins keep them updated ❤️

obsidian agate
#

like “make a clone of the source, but at 1/4th the size”, which is great for doing more performant blurs

fossil wyvern
#

ooh noice

obsidian agate
#

Since bluring a smaller source will use less resources than a larger source

tawdry palm
#

bluring in-game chat box and then I have a full screen blur for when I'm logging into a game live, so helpful ❤️

tawdry palm
obsidian agate
#

one of the tricks has been "use 3D Transform (3D Effect) to zoom out of the source, then use a blur filter, then zoom back in"

#

now you can skip the 3D Transforms, just Source Clone at 1/4th the size and blur that

#

the only thing Exeldro's "3D Effect" doesnt have that StreamFX's 3D Transform DOES have is the ability to Skew the source

tawdry palm
#

what made me move away from the trick you're mentioning was my "Instant Replay"
When that comes up it does a nice ZoomIn Blur on the life stream and slides in the Replay, which is quite pretty ❤️

obsidian agate
#

if you havent looked into it yet, check out "Scene As Transition" plugin by Andilippi. Combined with "Move Transition/Move Value" filters, you can make your own Stinger transitions using dynamically animated scenes instead

tawdry palm
#

is that near same as ASS ?

#

as that's what I currently use for the transitions for my Instant replay
it slides in an iPhone and replays the last 12sec on the screen of the iPhone but it blur's the live stream while it plays that, even has a neat sound effect when the iPhone slides in

tawdry palm
#

Hey guys! I cannot remember how I did t his and maybe it was in StreamFX. I'm trying to re-stretch, transform and pinch a source into the shape I want. I found 3D Effects Plugin but it's not quite what I was used too. Before I was able to move around and pinch, stretch a source to my liking in the viewer window. Anyone know how that was done ?

#

Previously, when on StreamFX, I could grab the corners of the source and pinch it to my liking to fit it into the monitor screen. I just don't know what plugin part that was, or if someone has made a new plugin for that feature. There is 3D Effects filter but it doesn't allow that pinching I need

i.e. Free Transform is what I'm looking for

Hi all, i after updating my OBS i ran into some issues with StreamDeck - OBS (waiting for OBS)

I did some google search and found this
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-29-1-elgato-stream-deck-waiting-for-obs.166357/#post-610985

It seems like it would be a solution for my problem but i do not understand completly what this guy means with:

Check %PROGRAMDATA%\obs-studio\plugins for the files from the system-wide plugin, be aware the directory structure is a little different. Files in the bin/64bit should be moved to obs-plugins/64-bit and data should be moved to data\obs-plugins\plugin-name..

Does one of you have the patience to help my old german brain to get things running again. I really dont want to f things up

Greetings and thanks, Triple

I've never used anything else than portable for years, and also use two stream decks, I am just trying to remember what I had to do regarding the plugin

#

can't even remember that I had to manually copy something 😄

lament leaf
#

I would think you just go to that location, copy the data folder and then go to your portable install, and make a folder with the plugin name (unless if it exists already) and put it there in Data/obs-plugins/plugin-name

#

However, I am going to phone a specialist since I don't actually use portable install. @obsidian agate Sorry for the ping my friend, but are you able to educate me a bit?

obsidian agate
#

ah, with installing the streamdeck plugin from the ProgramData to the portable install

#

one sec, there was a post that I followed for this specific thing

lament leaf
#

It might have been posted already, I just wasn't sure if I was guiding correctly. xD

post #5 in that thread, by R1CH

obsidian agate
lament leaf
#

So it is as simple as just copying things over from one to the other, thanks Rob. thedar114LOVE

#

I really need to experiment with portable installs to learn more, I just don't have enough time in my day haha

wise bloom
#

does the spelling of the ... plugin-name , matter?

#

StreamDeck , stream-deck , streamdeck ? Oo

obsidian agate
#

files from ProgramData/obs-studio/plugins/bin/64bit -> portable obs-studio/obs-plugins/64-bit

files from ProgramData/obs-studio/data -> portable obs-studio/data/obs-plugins/plugin-name

I just used the same name as the folder in ProgramData, that being StreamDeckPlugin

lament leaf
#

I think plugin name is just generic to whatever plugin you're actively bringing over. I would think it wouldn't matter. However if unsure, could just copy the name from the system wide install

obsidian agate
#

double check the thread, but i think i got all that typed out correct above

wise bloom
#

aight, ill give it a shot. fingers crossed

#

thanks for helping friends

obsidian agate
#

portable installs are great, I switched over to them with the release of v28

#

every time I go to try out a new plugin, or update OBS, I just duplicate my Portable Install DIR, install to the copy, and test things out

lament leaf
#

Thanks Rob. 😄 You're the man! (also portable install master)

obsidian agate
#

I also use a BAT file as the launcher, since BAT files can work with relative paths. Shortcuts need absolute paths, which makes duplicating the folder more of a chore, since you need to fix the Shortcut each time as well

wise bloom
obsidian agate
#

yeah, the moment i realized i could just duplicate the Portable Install folder, my eyes opened

#

my desktop has "OBS 29.0" and "OBS 29.1.1 TESTING" folders. I keep them both because they arent very huge folders overall, and i can go back to the old folder if i need to. I still have my 27 install, and my 28 installs

#

all portable mode now

#

if i need to make a new scene collection, i do it in a new Portable Install, run both copies with the --multi flag, and then copy between them as needed with Exeldro's "Source Copy" plugin

wise bloom
#

i did the copy paste . streamdeck is still waiting for OBS

#

ill dbl check

glacial haven
#

that's exactly how I work too and why portable mode is such a nice thing - you can throw this folder on your backup storage and you know you have everything about OBS ready to restore if needed - and you can test new versions and features with copies of the folder as needed and keep the old copies as long as you're not 100% sure everything works fine after a change

wise bloom
#

@lament leaf @obsidian agate @glacial haven it works ❤️ thank you all for your help

obsidian agate
twilit thicket
#

so I uninstalled and reinstalled streamdeck and still no plug in appeared for OBS is there another way to retrieve the plugin or download it please. Thank you in advance

glacial haven
#

you followed the above discussion? do you use portable mode?

#

if you use portable mode it doesn't appear in OBS by itself, you need to manually copy the plugin file to your portable installation

glacial haven
#

what concerns me a bit more than the situation someone has when upgrading OBS to 29.1.X and running into this the first time is what happens when Stream Deck delivers updates to this plugin at a later time - most people will not notice or not think about this and keep on running an old version with whatever weird side-effects this might cause thonk

#

this includes myself, don't know whether I will remember after every stream deck update to check whether it has thrown a newer version into the global folder, guess I will write myself a script for that

Can you please tell me how to create a dynamic light mask for the entire scene?

those. I want to add an effect to all the bright areas of my stream scene, but not to the dark areas

All working with OBS 29.0.2 and below.
in OBS Browser I configure URL: "https://vdo.ninja/?scene=1&room=ABC_TEST" and transfer of guest do not require copy and paste procedure, you instead click on button named "add to scene 1" in vdo.ninja.
This option stopped working in OBS 29.1. In vido.ninja you have 8 "add to scene x" buttons where x is 1 to 8. Using this technique you can invite guests with minimal reconfiguration using one click.
I love new feature in 29.1 but this is essential when you have live and 3 guests.

Hello everyone, I'm new in OBS development. I have few ideas of plugin I want to develop and I try to put in place my dev environment for OBS.
I have already un development environment working on Windows (with VS) allowing me to compile and run OBS based on master branch.
I tried to add a plugin using the plugin template that can be find in the documentation. I have clone it in the plugins directory, I have modified the buildspec.json and CMakeLists.txt of the plugin according to the documentation.
I have added a "add_subdirectory" line in the CMakeLists.txt of the plugins folder.
When I try to configure with CMake GUI, I have an error: "By not providing "Findlibobs.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has" I have tried to change my PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH with folder containing libobsConfig.cmake.in (libobs\cmake) but without success.
I looked at other plugins git and none of them use the CMakeList from the template and none of them use find_package(libobs REQUIRED). So is it necessary ?
Someone can help?

regal breach
deft sky
#

Thanks you @regal breach: Here is what I did:
I put back the plugin folder at the same level than obs-studio and obs-build-dependencies.
I modified buildspec.json to changes the dependancies at the same version than I have already (2023-03-30), updated checksums also.
I run Build-WIndows.ps1 ===> I got an error at the step of Building libobs and obs-frontend-api:
error c2220 warning treated as error
D:\OBS dev\obs-studio\libobs\media-io\audio-resampler-ffmpeg.c(111,16): warning C4996: 'swr_alloc_set_opts': was declared deprecated [D:\OBS dev\obs-studio\plugin_build_x64\libobs\libobs.vcxproj]

Should I change the script to deactivate SDL checks ? I feel like I should not touch any script provided

regal breach
#

this is my buildspec

#

if you link against obs 29.1, it won't be compatible with obs 28

deft sky
#

Thanks!
I try again

deft sky
#

@regal breach thank you very much, I had to go back from scratch but it work well, I have my VS solution.

Last question, this generate a sln with only the plugin. Which mean that I can not debug it (it generates dll files). Is there something already implemented to debug on a obs running?

regal breach
#

then, add that obs executable to the solution explorer in vs

#

there's an option to Add Existing Project, where you can select the obs exe

regal breach
#

then, i would build my plugin, then i can right click the obs executable in vs and click Debug

#

that will launch obs and allow me to debug my plugin

#

by no means am i an expert in these things, but so far this workflow has worked for me incredibly well

deft sky
#

I can reuse the obs-studio that have been downloaded by the plugin script (using script and CMake to generate the solution) or should I use an other copy of obs-studio code to do it?

regal breach
#

it's also the build i use when I write PRs for obs so it's fine

#

especially since dependencies can be very large

#

for one of my plugins though, i saved a copy of the obs build of a pending PR, so i don't have to checkout the PR branch whenever i need it

#

so i got 2 obs exes in the sln

deft sky
#

Perfect I will try to put all this in place.
Thank you very much for all your help!

regal breach
#

no problem

deft sky
regal breach
#

it has made me use my scene collections backups several times already

#

i suggest you apply this fix yourself

#

note that this doesn't actually affect installers, and installers don't have this issue, but debugging will be hell if you have to use installers all the time

deft sky
regal breach
#

but i put mine in the root folder of the obs build

#

i also used to add the -p parameter in vs, but it is prone to error (such as when i have to re-add the exe, and i'd forget to add the parameter)

#

so the text file method is definitely better

deft sky
#

I think you are right about the root folder of the obs build. Will try after compilation.

!portable

oblique yewBOT

Portable Mode allows the program to save and access configuration data from the program's base folder. To enable portable mode:

1.) Install/unzip to a custom directory outside of "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files"
2.) Then either modify its shortcut with the --portable or -p command line parameter, or create a blank text file named "portable_mode.txt" in the base installation/unzip folder.

couldnt you just use a regular nested scene for that? 😅

so the CA can speak over it

you can still animate it

#

look into nested scenes, and show/hide transitions.

well yeah, if the macro doesn't have any action to execute, of course it's not gonna do anything

#

by definition

#

once my LUA script is approved there will also be an automated solution for that

#

ah, thought that log was from someone else

#

yeah, also says it's not in portable mode and plugin version is the right version - weird thing then

I used a lot of stuff on windows, now switching some stuff to Mac OS. Hopefully it will be a smooth ride haha

the blur-filter i have released is just taken out of the streamFX package with a few small changes. it is partially broken as the streamFX one is as well currently so lots of options aren't working on macOS but it should hopefully do the job for what you want

#

So obs-websocket v5 is already included with OBS v28+, and is never needing to be explicitly installed

You seem to have installed the version of v5 that is for OBS versions earlier than v28, which overwrote the proper v5 install.

#

!plugins follow one of the guides listed below for uninstalling the incorrect websocket plugin

oblique yewBOT
obsidian agate
#

make sure OBS is not running while you do this. After that, open OBS and select the Help menu > Check File Integrity, and restart OBS.

WebSocket settings should appear in the Tools menu

If they still do not appear, reinstall OBS itself overtop of your current install. It should restore the proper WebSocket plugin

#

the only WebSocket plugin that may be needed for v28+ in some cases is the "WebSocket v4.9.1 Compatibility" plugin, which gives you a v4 WebSocket server in addition to the already included v5 server

hello
I want to change the speed of a video dynamicly while showing it.
does someone has an idee how to do this?

fossil wyvern
stone delta
#

yes but the video will always start from the beginning

fossil wyvern
#

oh, right

stone delta
#

I want to ram up to the interesting part and than go back to 100% speed or even go slower

spiral ruin
#

Use a video editor, and create a new clip that starts where you want, with the speed up and slow down. Then you won't have to control the speed manually in OBS.

stone delta
#

the video is a chlip that I chreat in the stream

#

its a replay

spiral ruin
#

Ah well that is a twist. Not sure what the options are for that from within OBS, aside from the manual control in the properties window. How long are the clips?

fossil wyvern
#

can try changing the speed with websocket but I think it would restart too

stone delta
stone delta
spiral ruin
stone delta
#

65s

regal breach
spiral ruin
#

So here's the thought process -
You save the clip
You want to replay the clip to stream
But you don't want to wait until the good part
You want to speed it up until you get there, then maybe slow it down...
Does that sound right?

stone delta
spiral ruin
#

Okay, so you are entering the world of live sports production concepts for replays. In your case on a home pc, that can be done with at least one of these two things:
Hardware recording/playback controls for this kind of media (think Blackmagic Hyperdecks)
A person who can control of OBS to manually do the "rack that replay, highlight the highlights, speed up/slowdown when desired" in a media player app that is a source.

stone delta
#

do you mean something like vcl?
I also need to adjust the speed with hotkeys because I am an one man Produktion.

spiral ruin
#

Yes, control in another media player app, not from the source properties. So VLC or any media player that has the controls you want to use. If you can't set hotkeys from within in the media player for those controls, you could probably use something like Touch Portal or Streamdeck, which work with VLC Player.
Like I mentioned earlier, you are entering a different world if you want to do this. Can you do it as a one-man production? Probably. Will it be easy? Definitely not.

#

I've seen lots of tutorials that show how easy it is to create a clip, then replay the clip to live stream, even with automatic special effects. Manual speed control like you want is, well, manual. Means you have to doing what you regularly do to get the media queued up, speed up to the moment you want to show your audience, etc. Think about how that will look to your audience, and how you want that to look.

whole karma
#

Exeldro's Dynamic Delay filter allows you to fast forward/rewind on a media source, this might be useful here. I've not used it personally but it sounds like it might be of use, provided there is enough RAM available for it.

Hello. I'm just now starting to venture into the plugins world and I'm trying to do something that sounds simple but I'm not finding the correct path.
I just want to add a callback to the video_render of a source I got by name. The idea is to access the image that is going to be in each frame of the source. I managed to do this via a filter modifying an existing plugin, but I feel like there's a much simpler way to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

hello obs quick question is there a way to find out how long a media file has left to play when it is on a loop

lucid thicket
#

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone here knows about Masks and stuff. I was planning on buying an Ultrawide monitor but the game I play has no scaleable or moveable ui, so it would look like this.

Screenshot_2023-05-15_01-34-55.png Screenshot_2023-05-15_01-36-17.png
#

I'd rather not have those big black bars and I don't mind if the left and right are cut off, but id like the health bar to be visible in 16:9

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

Yeah thats the idea but the health bar actually fades out too

#

And then you have that round icon next to it

#

Cropping to a round shape sounds like a nightmare and id like it to look as professional as possible as I stream for like 200+ people

fossil wyvern
#

to make sure we understand each other this is what I'm suggesting

Screenshot_2023-05-15_01-34-55.png
#

if you want to only have strictly the ui and not the rectangle around, just put an alpha mask on it

#

assuming that part of the UI doesn't move or change size, it'll work

#

if you don't know how to make an alpha mask for it I can do that

lucid thicket
#

The UI does not move but it does fade out and in

#

The blue icon does change for others

#

Such as red and green

#

Or grey

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

Thanks, I canceled my order for an ultrawide monitor until I can figure this out

#

Streaming this game is my main income so id rather not shoot myself in the foot

#

Thanks for the help.

Hello, is there anyway to get a delay for a video source? I noticed that a video capture device can have one, but I need it for game capture/window capture too.

hi im trying to use OBS teleport but my other computer wont show up when i press refresh why is this?

glacial haven
#

so I'd disable the firewalls first for testing

glacial haven
#

you cannot otherwise modify the video_render callback of the source, unless you have the source code for it and can just change the code of it and recompile

ut today it not work

I can probably make the fine adjustments myself

I see how you made this and I can adjust it accordingly

fossil wyvern
#

yee, it's not hard to understand how it works XD

lucid thicket
#

However, I do wish there was a way to like...

#

Have it only show up when the UI is on screen

fossil wyvern
#

make sure you're using pure black and pure white colors or it'll be semi-transparent

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

I'm willing to do it, this is my job so it's worth the investment

thorny quartz

#

what's wrong with the installation instructions provided?

lucid thicket
fossil wyvern
# lucid thicket I'm willing to do it, this is my job so it's worth the investment

the advanced scene-switcher plugin allows you to set macros that basically automatically perform set actions in OBS when a set condition is met.
Amongst the conditions it can use, there's a "video" condition that allows you to check whether part of a video source exactly matches an image or matches a certain pattern/object.
You can use that to detect when the game is showing the UI (though it'll probably require a fair amount of tinkering to get it exactly right), and use it to automatically hide/show the UI source.

(also if you don't mind, keeping the convo here rather than DMs would be preferable)

lucid thicket
#

Sure.

#

Also offtopic question, I use a 1440p monitor and im wondering which version of downscaling looks better

#

Theres the one in the streaming encoding tab and the one in video tab.

#

Im not sure what the difference is and I've noticed text kind of looks bad on stream.

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

I can give it a small test next stream just for the sake of it, sure.

#

Back to the topic, ill see what I can do with that plugin.

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

Oh

#

I've been using the one in the stream tab the whole time

fossil wyvern
#

(also generally speaking, better to be in simple output mode rather than advanced, unless you need smth in advanced, but nowadays there's very little advanced does that simple can't)

glacial haven
#

also the one in the output tab doesn't even offer options on the scaling quality

lucid thicket
#

Last I checked, I do need Advanced rather than Simple.

fossil wyvern
#

what for?

glacial haven
#

and if you're not happy with the quality of text you definitely want to play with that

lucid thicket
#

this is what I was using before

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

Oh hey, "Track 2" is now an option in simple

glacial haven
#

it's the typical performance vs. quality trade-off, using Lanczos will look better in most scenarios but also use more resources

lucid thicket
#

I value stream quality a lot, my PC is a bit of a powerhouse (not top end anymore though)

#

I've got a 2080ti and i9 12900k

fossil wyvern
glacial haven
#

Bicubic usually isn't that bad either though, just don't use Bilinear or Area

fossil wyvern
#

but test it out, check what you prefer

lucid thicket
fossil wyvern
#

what for?

lucid thicket
#

I use specific quality settings and audio track stuff, which I can only do in Advanced

#

but I can (or should) be able to use Simple for streaming now thanks to the extra options added.

fossil wyvern
#

multiple audio tracks are also available in simple

#

and out of sheer curiosity, which quality settings?

#

(I'm not trying to push you to use simple, just it's good to know what people use advanced for)

lucid thicket
#

I was using CQP at 20 to 25, depending for recording. I also auto-split the MP4s into chunks of 6GBs.

#

I upload all my recordings to a cloud server for editors to grab and splitting files at 6GB increments is really useful for them.

#

It doesn't appear that I have those options with Simple.

glacial haven
#

the cloud server isn't supporting restarting an aborted download I guess?

lucid thicket
#

I was using Advanced for the Twitch Audio Track 2 setting but now that is also on Simple so I don't need it.

fossil wyvern
#

oh yee afaik automatic file splitting is still confined to advanced

glacial haven
#

really annoying when you downloaded 190 of 200 gigs and then get a disconnect 😛

lucid thicket
#

Yeah exactly

#

My editor is in Australia.

#

😔

#

Slow downloads and "oops it gave up"

#

Anyway

#

Let me see what I can do with this Advanced Scene Switcher

#

I'm not sure how to use this exactly so I hope I can figure it out

fossil wyvern
#

from what I understand, what would probably work best would be to use the "matches pattern" with alpha as mask and use an image that is basically transparent, except for a specific part of the UI that will always be the same whenever the UI is there

#

but then again, never personally used that condition

mortal harbor
#

what is the condition you are talking about?

obsidian agate
mortal harbor
#

i should've asked my question better. what are you trying to do in advanced scene switcher?

lucid thicket
fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

I want to keep the game streaming at a 16:9 but I want to buy a 21:9 monitor since I have a single monitor stream setup (and have for a few years)

#

So I want to move the UI into view for the stream since it cannot be moved, but it would look horribly unprofessional to just have a section cropped out

mortal harbor
fossil wyvern
#

oh noice, didn't know there was a guide, ty

#

I'll give this a try and come back if I am having trouble.

#

I am looking for a pop up and a text talk plugin for my weather livetreams

AgathaCrop.png
#

I'm not sure if there's a better way to make this work

#

and if youre curious, this is how the UI fades

fossil wyvern
#

first, show me the general tab too

lucid thicket
#

The health bar (the important part of this) fades in and out as its used

#

the little badge is the only thing consistently on screen

#

and theres four. A red, blue, green and grey.

mortal harbor
#

So I see a youtuber name Ryan Hall Y'all When he gets weather warnings or watch's it pops up and makes noises and sounds and the text talks

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

I imagine that's even harder

cant exactly use an image of the health bar when it's like

#

got different values on it all the time

and also like, when im in a menu it shouldnt

# lucid thicket

After that, could you post a screenshot of the health bar and stamina? bar at like 50% each and 25% each. Would like to see what that thin strip between the two looks like over the course of gamplay

fossil wyvern
#

ok, so the difference is the presence of the health bar, right?

lucid thicket
obsidian agate
#

No worries

lucid thicket
#

Thanks for all the help, this is quite the task to nail down

fossil wyvern
#

yee, hence my warning of "it's complex" beforehand

#

XD

lucid thicket
#

I don't care about that little fire icon either don't worry

#

and just incase it's not visible on your end, there is about a 1 pixel gap between the health and stamina bar

obsidian agate
#

Ahhh, there is a thin part in the center that shows thru to the background/gampeplay

lucid thicket
#

I mean I could technically get a pattern of the very top of the healthbar

#

and then just ask the thing to look for that specifically

#

or the bottom

#

doesn't matter, really

obsidian agate
#

I dont use AdvSS much these days, but could a “if this or this or this” match possible? Could have a few conditions based on different spots being filled green, red or black

fossil wyvern
#

yee

#

using this would work until you're just about to die, that's a good place to start with, if it works with that, we can try refining

healthbar.png
#

(make sure to select "use alpha channel as mask" so that it doesn't try to match the transparent parts)

lucid thicket
fossil wyvern
#

otherwise could be doable to use the lines around the bars

lucid thicket
#

Yeah I'll try that

obsidian agate
lucid thicket
#

Basically some sources of damage cant kill you but will leave you with 1hp

#

so its not uncommon to be left with no health on the bar

fossil wyvern
lucid thicket
#

Yeah sure

#

This did not work actually

#

show match does not detect the pattern

#

oh wait

#

i forgot to check the box

fossil wyvern
#

up the threshold, since we're more or less going for perfect match?

lucid thicket
#

It doesn't seem to like it, I think it's because theres a lot of extra space in that

#

I can also specify to only check in that area of the screen

fossil wyvern
#

ok wait imma try shit on my own
